Chapter 116: Difficulty
Relocating refugees in military camps is not a long-term solution. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We need to send these women and children to the rear as soon as possible...... It is even more important to let the court think of a way. In wartime, it is really not a long-term solution to be able to make the army and the people safe. After the red lady finished speaking, her brows were furrowed.
There is a red lady in the rear. That is the section from the south of Phoenix City to Jiulian City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Relying on the geographical advantage, or more importantly, relying on the strong combat effectiveness of the Red Lady's subordinates, there are tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from Shengjing before.
The Han people of Liaodong were withdrawn from Shenyang for more than a year. But in this kind of annual ripening land, although Tuntian has achieved great results, Phoenix City can only be said to be able to get rid of the situation of not having enough to eat, at least he can ask for a huge expenditure from the center with a bitter face.
Supposedly, this is already a very good result. After a while, considering the strong recovery ability of these tenacious Liao people, the Red Lady could even consider increasing the number of troops with the imperial court.
But......
In any case, at the moment, there is no surplus food in Phoenix. The beginning of this battle consumed the surplus food in Phoenix.
As for transporting grain from the mainland to Jiulian City and then to Weining Ying, it is even more worrying. The distance is far away, and it is difficult to report in a hurry. It is more reliable to squeeze towards North Korea to the south. Every time she thinks of this, the red lady is glad for Zhu Cihong's strategic vision.
Fortunately, Korea was recovered from the Qing people, otherwise, how could the peninsula be able to raise food for the 200,000 army. And the war potential of the Qing people is far from the peak, and they will never use this kind of desperate plan to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 themselves.
Killing all the Han people under his rule is not genocide?
Snatching up all the food of Hermes-Epitek under his rule, isn't this a self-destructive portal?
In the future, not to mention that all Han people will be separated from the Manchus, even those low-level Manchus will also worry that they will one day embark on the path of these Han people, be slaughtered by the Eight Banners army, and snatch the last rations to support the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty......
Leaving that aside, for now, the problem of refugees still has to be solved.
As soon as she thought of encountering 30,000 refugees in front of her in front of Weining Camp, the red lady felt tricky.
Weiningying is just a small city, and further on, it is Shengjing. As the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the number of refugees there is likely to be even larger.
The military advisers in the Privy Council were all thinking about the marquis and paying homage to the generals, and the defeat of Liaoyang City by the Jinwu army greatly stimulated them, and they shouted to continue the attack.
If it weren't for the red lady's control, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to suppress this voice.
Relying on the previous accumulation of prestige, the red lady suppressed everyone's objections and insisted on accepting refugees. But like the Red Lady, it is rare to consider these women and children, the old and weak generals, and the soldiers who have become the generals of the Ming Empire, regardless of age, whether they are the old roots of the Red Lady, want to use their military exploits to pave their promotion ranks.
The red lady can hold it down for a while, but she can't hold it down for a long time.
Thinking like this, the red lady lost her mind for a long time: "Holy Lord, what will you do?" Chen Gang Liji, Relief ...... Could it be just a slogan? ”
A slogan can inspire people, but many times, it is just a slogan that deceives the public.
……
The Lugou River was bumping and bumping, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded.
On both sides of the river, there were onlookers everywhere. Of course, even more indispensable are the workers of the Jingshi Iron and Steel Works, as well as the escorts on horseback and with wooden sticks.
The workers happily watched the heavy object fall to the ground, full of hope for the future.
"I didn't expect such a thin ship to be able to carry a thousand stones of iron, it's really unexpected."
"You don't know how to do this, this is the magic ship that His Majesty cast the immortal law when he was in Nanjing, what is it with a thousand stones of iron, this ship went down to the sea from the Lugou River, with the sea breeze, it can be three thousand miles a day!"
When the words of three thousand miles a day were spoken, everyone present was amazed. The words of surprise are endless.
After all, the top sweat and blood BMW can be regarded as a legend if it can travel thousands of miles a day, that is, 800 miles of urgency, which is already the fastest speed of this era. Traveling 3,000 miles a day, it was naturally shocking that everyone talked about it.
Only a few people who knew how to do it couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh. Of course, this is not a divine ship in which His Majesty the Emperor has cast an immortal law. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, not an immortal. It's really not necessarily immortal.
Of course, the world that Zhu Cihong has mastered, but the changes he has obtained are as if he has experienced the law of the gods, and the changes are huge and jaw-dropping.
This ship, of course, is a clipper.
It is not easy for the clipper boat to enter the Lugou River and enter the small inland port. It was this time that Fang Yizhi arranged the ship, and it took the boss's strength to find a small clipper among the ocean-going ships.
Although the clipper ship is small, it is a sea ship after all, and no matter how small it is, it can carry a lot of things. Thousands of stones of iron are really insignificant, quite ordinary.
At this moment, in Lugouqiao Port, there are more and more crowds of onlookers, which makes the guards also vigilant, looking at everyone as if they are looking at thieves.
Seeing this, Fang Yizhi, who was present, understood very well. After all, Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant has a big surprise in store this time.
Beside him, Wang Xun from the privy office exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a good thing." I thought that the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant would produce 600,000 catties of iron in just three months, but I didn't expect that there would be such a good way. Who came up with this method of railroad tracks? You've got a good reward! ”
Wang Xun looked at the direction of the port leading to the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant, and couldn't help but marvel.
Along the road, countless guards from the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant patrolled along the way.
That's right, it's a railway.
Although this railway is very rough, just a simple plop of sand and sleepers, and erect straight rails, as long as you see the horses pulling the rolling wooden railcars on it, you can understand that this is indeed a railway that can transport materials.
Obviously, compared to transporting by countless horse-drawn carriages, the efficiency can jump more than ten times by rail.
Then turn to the canal port, it is hundreds of thousands of catties of iron, and it is easy to transport it.
"Let's sail!" On the clipper ship, the sails were retracted, and the hired slender man shouted the trumpet and slowly sailed the clipper away.
"The clipper boat entered the inland river, and it was still a little inconvenient." Wang Xun said: "However, leave aside the urgency at the beginning. In another half a month, you can slowly use the boat, which is an inland river boat, with a large transportation volume and low cost. However, the business of Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant is really ...... Is...... It's amazing. Wang Xun sighed.
In the past, the Ming soldiers led the troops to fight, which rarely relied on the weapons of the imperial court. It's not that the imperial court doesn't issue weapons, but it's very difficult to believe that the imperial court can issue qualified weapons. Among them, the low level of management of the military industry and the rampant corruption are the reasons. However, it is also inseparable from the lack of excellent raw materials in the Ming Dynasty, which makes the cost of building good ordnance high, and even directly it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Now, the Daming State is thriving. The military industrial system is also completely new, and this time, as soon as the Privy Secretary has determined the plan, it can immediately allocate hundreds of thousands of catties of iron, which is really beyond Wang Xun's imagination, and it makes him full of confidence in the difficulties this time.
"Supposedly, more words are not something I should have asked." Fang Yizhi was very curious, but he still couldn't help but say: "But this time, the imperial court urgently needs so much iron, and I really don't know what the situation is." If it is said to be built by the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop, it doesn't have to be like this. After all, they are all in Beijing, and they will not be transferred to the Jingnan Workshop District in the canal. What they want is fine iron crucible steel, although the amount is large, but it is enough for a flatbed cart. After all, they are all in Jingshi, and it is not much trouble. ”
"I'll make this clear to you within the scope of confidentiality." Wang Xun paused and said, "This time...... It is indeed a military emergency, and a large amount of iron is needed to build it...... A big project! ”
As he spoke, Wang Xun's eyes burned.
Haizhou front-line command, the Ming Empire is here.
It is where His Majesty the Emperor is located. The Ming Dynasty advanced rapidly, the east road to Zhu Cihong's hometown of Weining Ying, and the west road also reached the political, economic, cultural and other central cities of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty: Liaoyang.
Naturally, Zhu Cihong also followed the army from Guangning to Haizhou.
Haizhou is a key place, where there are land routes connecting Guangning and Liaoyang from east to west, and Liaoyang and Gaizhou from north to south, which is really a key city for military transshipment.
In the same way, it is also a place where the rear must be stabilized.
Zhu Cihong is stationed here with the above reasons in mind.
In the Privy Council War Deduction Hall, everyone was noisy.
"I advocate that now go now! Taking advantage of the fact that the Tartars didn't expect the rapid progress of my Ming Wang Division, they were going to catch the other party off guard! Jin Yiwei had already received the exact information, and the Tartars had reached the point of being desperate at this time. All the Jurchens, from fifty old men to fourteen young men, all rushed into the army. ”
"That's right! This means that Jiannu has reached the extreme of madness. The rapid expansion of the troop will inevitably bring about a decline in combat effectiveness. Such madness, we must seize the moment! ”
"I disagree! War is never war for war's sake. To be clear about our purpose, is to regain lost territory. Since it is a reconquista, it should be implemented to this point. We must not make the mistake of being arrogant because of Jiannu's conspiracy and tricks! ”
"Who's the Proud Soldier? The morale of the Ming warriors is so rare that it can be protected! ”
"If you calm down a little and your morale is depressed, I don't think this is morale, that's crazy!"
"You're slandering!"
"I think you're even more unreasonable!"
"Okay, okay......" Seeing that the military advisors were talking more and more outrageous, Ni Yuanlu interrupted everyone's discussion: "Just talk about things, this is the thing that was emphasized just now, and it is on fire again?" Let's all go out for a run and then come in and talk to me! ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
A burst of voices of varying volume rang out, if it was in normal times, ni yuanlu would have been angry and reprimanded for not eating, right.
But at this moment, as soon as he saw the people walking outside the door, Ni Yuanlu couldn't care about everyone, and waved his hand: "Then what are you doing stunned?" Give me a lap and come back! ”
The military advisors went out to run circles, and the military intelligence hall was quieter all of a sudden, Ni Yuanlu saluted Zhu Cihong, and said a little sneeringly: "Let Your Majesty see and laugh." ”
"They are all my Ming talents, just like my siblings, it is inevitable to make some harmless mistakes. Why don't you see a smile but don't smile. However, from this point of view, the dispute in the army is very serious. After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he looked at the expanding map, losing his initial excitement.
"On the one hand, there is the increasingly fragile logistics. On the one hand, it was a war down, and I only had earth-shattering achievements in the twenty-five years of the Ming Dynasty. It's normal for the soldiers to be wild-minded. Shengjing is like a gold mine, whoever arrives first will dig it. Ni Yuanlu explained with a wry smile.
"The gold mine has been dug up, but if the foundation is broken, it will be completely destroyed, and both people and money will be empty." Zhu Cihong said: "Good stop." On Hu Dawei's side, fortunately, Yang Aiqing went early, otherwise, he would have been chased outside the Great Wall by the soldiers on the fire. ”
"In this regard, Zhu Di has done a good job. However, the minister also read Zhu Di's opinion. The point he made was important...... In wartime, it is understandable and in accordance with the regulations. But letting the army deal with the problem of refugees will not only drag down the army's combat effectiveness. Again, it can be a big problem. At least, far beyond the capabilities of the military. At this point, Li Guozhen was in a hurry...... Alas......" Ni Yuanlu sighed.
Li Guozhen was the former commander of the Beijing camp and the highest commander of the military generals. Although the level is very high, the future generations will not lose money, and this time he got the position of the chief military advisor of the Jinwu Army.
But after the performance of this battle, Ni Yuanlu understands that Li Guozhen can only reach this position at the highest.
Enthusiasm should be followed by refugees, which is understandable and a matter of course. But in the face of the continuous influx of refugees from all directions, seeing Li Guozhen's hurry, everyone couldn't help sighing.
"Fortunately, Yang Aiqing went early." Zhu Cihong was happy again.
The Yang Aiqing mentioned by Zhu Cihong is Yang Wenyue.
Worried about hurting the enthusiasm of his subordinates, Zhu Cihong asked Yang Wenyue to go to Liaoyang in person to appease the army and boost morale.
As a result, as soon as Yang Wenyue arrived, he took the lead in reettling refugees. Yang Wenyue used to be the governor of Baoding, the officers and soldiers on the horse, and the herdsmen on the horse, compared to Li Guozhen, who was planted and did not know the roots, Yang Wenyue was much more stable.
In this way, there was no chaos in the resettlement of refugees in Liaoyang.
But such a scene also made Zhu Cihong understand how big the refugee problem is.
Especially a group of hungry women and children and men who have been in the barracks for a long time......
Just thinking about it on your toes knows what's going to happen.
In this regard, because the soldiers in Liaodong Town knew that their Shangguan was a woman, they had always been strict in this matter, and there was no basket yet. But in Liaoyang, there are already signs of this. (To be continued.) )
